♥ ♥ ♥ Easter!

Friday night my sister Gayle and her husband Steve came to visit us! It was so much fun! We got to play games bead a little and then on Saturday morning we took all the kids bowling. They had a blast. I'll have pictures later of that. I forgot my camera but Gayle brought hers and then we forgot to download a copy onto my computer before they left. Joe woke up early on Saturday so he could BBQ some chicken for us and I made potato salad the day before, so right after bowling we were able to come home eat lunch and put kids to bed! It was so nice to have everything all ready done! Also on Saturday after the kids all had their naps we had our egg hunt and the kids got their baskets.

Olivia spend most of the weekend on the couch trying to stay away from Lizzy & Taffy. Finally on Saturday early evening Olivia decided that she would pet Taffy ONLY if Aunt Gayle was holding her and ONLY if Taffy was laying down. :)
Sunday morning before church! Aunt Gayle & Uncle Steve got the kids Easter outfits! Thanks Gayle & Steve they're so CUTE!

Olivia was just waiting for the other kids to get on the couch so we could take pictures!

We tried to get outside shots but it wasn't the best day to do it! A little to breezy and dark and nearly impossible to get all 4 of them to smile, be happy and look at the camera at the same time!

After 2 tries at snaking the toilet to get "whatever" was in there out Joe FINALLY got it out on the 3rd try and only after he had a dream about how to do it!!! He had to pull the tip of the snake out to make it almost straight and what did he find??? Well the first thing to come out was a pencil! This will be the 2nd one we've had to dig out and then out came a travel size shampoo container. It was full of water and the top of it was lodged in there so that the snake wouldn't go around it. With Joe stretching out the tip of the snake it finally was able to jab through it and pull it out! What a pain but we're so glad that we (and by we I mean mostly JOE) didn't have to take the whole toilet off and all that garbage! So yay we have two working toilets again. Joe got it done just before Gayle & Steve got here so that was very nice...

I love the pictures of the kids! I can't imagine getting 4 kids to smile and stand still at the same time.

Debra said...

FUN!! Those are great pics. The kids are adorable. I love their cheeks!!! Always smiling!!!

I pulled 3 fat chunky markers out of my vacuum yesterday. HOW did they manage to suck up the markers I will never know but they were all the way through the hose.

Kelli said...

that is so nice that your sister and hubby bought your kids their easter clothes. It makes it more special every time they wear them. Sorry about your toilet

Jenn said...

Cute cute pictures. And your toilet story- funny! My son flushed a whole box of wet wipes down once and my daughter flushed the bath tub plug down another time. That toilet is such a wonder to little ones! That is great he got it fixed! Very cool.

Cecilia said...

Cute pictures and funny story!!! Looks like you guys had a fun Easter!!!

raising4boys said...

Glad you had a nice Easter and someone to share it with!

I love all the pictures, especially the silly shots (so great you posted others besides the best ones). It is hard to get a good picture with all four kids looking at the same time. Makes me appreciate photographers :)

sounds like you guys had fun!...except for unclogging the toilet! Isn't it funny how sometimes we figure things out in our dreams.
